Q

Invasive vs Non invasive AGE

A

“It is conventionally accepted that noninvasive organisms produce watery diarrhoea, usually through an enterotoxin primarily affecting the small intestine. In contrast, invasive organisms, primarily affect the large bowel, invade the mucosa and produce an inflammatory response and bloody, mucoid stools.”
